Product Information

Full details

The North Face Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is designed for adult female outdoor enthusiasts seeking versatile warmth and moisture management. Its key benefit is providing lightweight insulation for post-trekking chills and cool mornings, while its caveat is that it's best layered with a waterproof shell for heavy rain. This fleece functions as both a reliable hiking layer and a casual everyday sweater, featuring a 1/4 zip for adjustable ventilation and a durable, recycled polyester construction.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the 1/4 zip design?

The 1/4 zip design allows for quick and easy ventilation. You can unzip it to let in cool air when you're warming up or zip it up for more warmth. It also makes the fleece easier to put on and take off.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece provides lightweight warmth and is best as a mid-layer in cool to cold conditions. For very cold or extreme weather, it should be layered with additional insulating layers and a protective outer shell.

How does the moisture-wicking feature work?

The fabric is designed to pull moisture (like sweat) away from your skin and spread it across the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate more quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

What does 'Circular Design' mean for this product?

Circular Design means the product is made with the end-of-life in mind. It's designed to be taken apart and recycled into raw materials that can be used to create new products, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.

Can I wear this fleece in the rain?

While the fleece offers some resistance to light moisture, it is not waterproof. For significant rain, it should be worn under a waterproof and breathable outer shell jacket.

How do I care for the embroidered logo?

Do not iron the embroidered logo directly. Follow the standard washing and drying instructions for the fleece. Heat from ironing can damage the stitching and the fabric around it.

What material is the fleece made from?

The body of the fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, with a fabric weight of 165 g/m². The pocket lining is 90 g/m².

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels damp after activity.

Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can restrict airflow and moisture movement. Also, confirm that the moisture-wicking properties haven't been diminished by fabric softeners used during washing. Re-wash using a technical fleece wash or mild detergent without softener.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Reduced warmth over time.

Fleece fibers can compress over time. Ensure the garment is clean; sometimes, dirt and oils can affect loft. Follow the washing instructions carefully to preserve the fabric's structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally conscious design with recycled materials.
  • Effective moisture-wicking keeps you dry during exertion.
  • Lightweight yet provides substantial warmth.
  • Versatile for both outdoor activities and casual wear.
  • Adjustable ventilation via the 1/4 zip.

Cons

  • Not waterproof on its own; requires a shell for heavy rain.
  • Primarily designed for moderate temperatures; may not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional layers.
  • The pink color family might not appeal to all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed as a versatile layering piece. It pairs well with base layers (like synthetic or merino wool shirts) for added warmth and moisture management. For protection against wind and rain, it can be layered under a waterproof and windproof outer shell jacket. It is suitable for adult women engaged in various outdoor activities or casual wear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the fleece's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry low. Do not iron the embroidered logos.
  2. Detergents: Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fabric's moisture-wicking capabilities.
  3. Recycling: This garment is part of The North Face's Circular Design initiative. At the end of its life, return it to The North Face for recycling into new products.
